Details

Set in early 1900s Mexico, Like Water for Chocolate takes us on a sensory journey through the life of a woman whose "sensual life is carried out in the kitchen, and whose food is so magical it can inspire people to laugh, or cry, or run naked from the house to be scooped up and carried away by a passing revolutionary" [more here (http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/like-water-for-chocolate-1993)].

At this special film night we will not only enjoy a delightful film but also taste a recipe or two from the original book. We will also have two special guests with whom, delicious treat in hand, we will open up the salient themes of the film and discuss the interplay between food and senses.

We'd love for everyone to indulge so if you have dietary requirements you'd like us to consider, please message me privately or add it in the comments below by 24th Aug.
